FAQPage Schema
How do I set up bidirectional sync between SpecWeave and GitHub Issues?

Bidirectional sync between SpecWeave and GitHub Issues is configured through an interactive setup wizard that guides you through authentication, sync direction selection (bidirectional, export-only, import-only, or manual), and auto-create options. The wizard resolves cross-system data drift by synchronizing issues in both directions.

Can I sync SpecWeave with Jira Epics and Azure DevOps Work Items?

Yes, the external-sync-wizard supports synchronization with Jira Epics and Azure DevOps Work Items through dedicated interactive setup wizards. Each tool has configurable sync direction and auto-create-issues options to map SpecWeave increments to external tool artifacts.

What sync directions are available for external tool integration?

Four sync directions are available: bidirectional (two-way updates), export-only (push to external tools), import-only (pull from external tools), and manual (no automatic synchronization). Choose the direction that matches your workflow and data governance requirements.

How does SpecWeave handle conflicts when syncing with multiple external systems?

SpecWeave enforces local source of truth as the hub during synchronization. The wizard configures conflict handling and increment propagation behavior, allowing you to specify how cross-system data drift is resolved based on your chosen sync direction and auto-create settings.

Do I need authentication credentials to set up GitHub, Jira, or Azure DevOps sync?

Yes, authentication credentials are required during the interactive setup wizard for GitHub Issues, Jira Epics, and Azure DevOps Work Items. The wizard guides you through credential configuration as part of the setup process for each external tool.

What happens when I enable auto-create issues during sync setup?

Enabling auto-create issues automatically generates new tasks or work items in the external tool when plan increments are synced. The wizard lets you configure this behavior per tool, controlling whether increments propagate as new issues or sync only to existing artifacts.
